Bralstreet's railroad reports for the
nine months Of 1887 shows that ll6
railroads have earned nearly $50, 00e,-
900 more than was earned by them du-

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Three Men Killed by an Explosion Of
Molten Metal.

CHICAGO July 16.-A horrible accident occurred
this morning at the Union steel works. corner OF
Ashland and Archer avenues, by which three men
are likely TO die. The men were engaged in pour
ing not iron into mold that was damp, when the
metal flew and scared them dreadfuly. They
were taken TO the county hospital and the ply
scians declare their recovery Is out or the dues
ton. Two OF the injured are Poles and the third
hungarian.
The particulars OF the accident are as follows:
A large casting was to be made, and the
preparations had been completed by a
night shift OF men. The ladle by which the
molten metal was to be carried from the
mouth OF the blast furnace to the mold had been
freshly plastered by one OF the night men with
out any adequate idea OF the early nour at which
operations were to commence this morn
Ing. At $500 O'Clock this morning the
plug was picked out OF the furnace
spout and lava-like rush of white-hot metal TOOK
place. II was large melt for big casting, aud
besides the men VINO mad business around that
adniring the scintillating sparks that flew
from the bubbiing stream. All at once
there was an upheaval In the ladle. An explosion
had taken place in the lower part OF its capacious
interior. In 4 moment the hot metal was spread
ing itself over the heads and faces and bodies
or On-lOokerS and workers alike. The water
in the fresh plaster had generated steam
and miniature boiler explosion with maximum
results had taken place. The thick paving OF coal
dust and moldlng sand on the floor was forced into
the air and gave the outside world
the impression Of q great fire. But there
was no fire and hardly any damage
to the building to speak OF; but a dozen men
lay groaning In agony when the binding cloud
had subsidized. The police and uninJured men
the worst hurt were on their way TO the county
hospital.

Englishmen and Cold Water Baths.

Englishmen and Cold Water Baths.
From the London Gossip New York World.
This doctor also exploded the theory so pre-
valent in England that cold baths are condu-
Give to vigor and health. Nearly every man in
England talks about his cold bath. 1t Is appa-
rently one OF the most entertaining subjects
that you can suggest for conversation. The
length Of the bath and whether it should be a
plunge or a shower or the like, afford an tnn-
mite variety to this ever delightful topic. I un-
derStand there Is even an association in Eng
land so rabid on this subject that they make It
q rule to take plunge into cold water out OF
doors every day OF their lives and do not even
stop In m1dwinter except to first break the ice.
This learned, and at The same time one OF the
most successful physicians In London. said that
many OF the worst diseases which he had to treat
could be traced back to the evil effects OF too much
cold bathing. Said he: 1.-THE theory OF the cold
bath is wrong. 1t attacks the vitality OF the body
at the very outset. 1t draws the blood from the
surface and concentrates 1t unnaturally upon the
interior and produces for the time being ire
mendouS tension. The whole effect OF the shock
is positive injury. The people whose systems are
strong enough to react from the shock may think
they are benefited, but they have been simply
strong enough to recover. No healthy person,
much less stckly one, should ever put cold water
upon his body"

Their Own View Of the Matter.

Their Own View Of the Matter
From the London Saturday Review.
A notion seems generally prevalent in Europe
that II only the harem doors were opened a rush
for liberty would Immediately take place, and
many are the sympathies wasted On the supposed
prisoners Of the Mohammedan marriage tie. In
reality, both men and women consider their state
far superior to that Of Europeans. The man argues
thus: "fOu are slave from the moment you
marry. You cannot go out TO lunch or dinner or
to your friends without taking your wife with
YOU You cannot even leave her alone for q few
hours without giving an account OF yourself. Such
state OF things would be unbearable to me.
go where like and ny wife goes where she likes
pay my servants to look after her, and am sure
that She Is not flirting with other men when am
not by her Side. You are never sure OF this, &C.
This Is his line OF argument The woman
says: my religion forbidS me to look upon other
men but my husband. Ii changed my religion
perhaps should like to mix up with every fellow
l came across; but as long as am MOhamme-
dan deteSt the thought OF IL. l cover my face
their bodies. AS to being watched and guarded,
1t Is compliment which shows how much my
husband cares for me. II he were to leave me to
do.what liked should know he did not care for
me and should feel deeply insulted." IL Is difficult
for the Western mind fully TO grasp the imme nse
gulf between our ideas and theirs. Their reason
Ing is TalaciouS and almost ridiculous from our
standpoint, but II Is good enough from theirs.
And therefore long as the Mohammedan
religion lasts, so long viii the harem exist. And
its existence is, on the whole, happy and con-
tented one, IN spite OF all the reasoning which may
be brought TO show that 1t ought to be miserable.

A Portland, Me-, special July 9. says: 1.-THE
nude In art" question came up before Judge Gould,
OF the Municipal Court, this morning, and for q
time the rather gloomy old courthouse was trans
formed into picture gallery. A score or more OF
fine paintings and OF reproductions OF the MASTER
pieces OF the Paris Salon were ranged about the
courtroom on chairs and benches. The pictures
were brought In by Mr.. Stubbs, an art-dealer, as
evidence that the complaint against him TOR ex-
hibiting immoral pictures in his window was un-
founded. The pictures were nearly ali well-knoWn
subjects and those FAMILIAR TO all art critics.
George p. Ktmball, president OF the Law and
Judge Gould said that he would hear no Testimony,
since the pictures were In court and could be seen
for themselves. The learned judge then descended
room and carefully inspected each picture with
evident appreciation. After he had seen the last
ono he cOmpltmented the taste OF the art dealer
and dismissed the case.
